Y Tu Mamá También costars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna are reunited for this Mexican soccer comedy from director Carlos Cuarón.
Stepbrothers Beto (Diego Luna) and Tato (Gael Garcia Bernal) are hick; their mother seems to collect men with unerring misjudgment, and their family life is one of squabbling, children, beer and a blind devotion to soccer. They have a change in luckwhen "Batuta", a soccer talent scout, discovers them accidentally. Tato is the first to move to the big city where he becomes the star goal scorer for the prestigious Deportivo Amaranto (Amaranto Club).
Although Beto feels he has been betrayed and left behind, he soon travels to Mexico City to become the goalkeeper for Atletico Nopaleros (Nopaleros Team). At the peak of glory, they forget all animosity, although it does not last long. At the very real possibility of fulfilling all of their dreams, the siblings must face an innate rivalry as well as their own demons and limitations.
RSVP required. Seat are limited and are first-come, first-served.
Rudo y Cursi will be released in theaters on May 8th by Sony Pictures Classics.
